Travel Timeline

Growing up I was extremely fortunate to have parents that had both the means and the desire to travel. In my younger years we traveled all over western Europe, but once my parents discovered the United States it became the destination of pretty much every trip we took. In fact, we traveled to the States a crazy 19 times before we eventually moved there in 2010.

Now that I’ve moved out, it’s all up to me to make trips happen. When out shopping I find myself saying things like “The price of this bag equals a plane ticket to Barcelona, no freaking way.” I’m trying to minimize materialistic spending and instead put all of my money towards new experiences, adventures and traveling.

After making my very own travel timeline I’ve calculated that I have been to 28 countries (not counting quick airport layovers) and 2 territories.

Without further ado, my travel timeline.
